How to transfer my osCommerce from one host to another?
Transferring your osCommerce application includes copying your files and database and modifying the two configure.php files in includes/ and admin/includes/ folders to work with the new server settings.
The most important settings which should be modified in includes/configure.php are:
HTTP_SERVER - you should set this to your domain name, e.g. http://yourdomain.com: define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://yourdomain.com'); DIR_FS_CATALOG - the absolute path to your shop, e.g. /home/user/public_html/shop/: define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/user/public_html/shop'); DB_SERVER - you should set this to localhost: define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); DB_SERVER_USERNAME - the username with privileges to access the shop database: define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'user_osc1'); DB_SERVER_PASSWORD - the password for accessing the database: define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'oscpassword'); DB_DATABASE - the shop database: define('DB_DATABASE', 'user_osc1');
In admin/includes/configure.php, along with the settings above, you should also modify:
DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT - the absolute path to your shop, e.g. /home/user/public_html/shop/: define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/user/public_html/shop/'); DIR_FS_ADMIN - the absolute path to the admin folder, e.g. /home/user/public_html/shop/admin/: define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/user/public_html/shop/admin/');
Some older versions of osCommerce require register_globals to be enabled in order for the shop to function. If you get an error about register_globals being disabled, please check this article to see how to enable it. Rating
